Harris hit the deck as shells came through walls and windows. This was the second time in two weeks that his home, near 46th and Saratoga streets, looked more like a war zone than what he faced when he served in the Army.

“This is ridiculous,” Harris said. “You’re killing each other. You’re a coward. You sat out there and shot up my house. You don’t know who I am. You almost killed my kids. You almost shot my daughter. If she’d have been here, she would have been dead.”

Harris missed work to clean up the debris left over from more than 30 rounds that pounded his home.

“You’re taking my livelihood away from me,” Harris said. “You almost took my family away from me. For what reason, I have no idea. I just want it to stop.”

Harris and others in the neighborhood are coming together to make that happen.

Harris thinks someone may be targeting a former foster son who doesn’t live at the home anymore. The 18-year-old was shot six days earlier near Fontenelle Boulevard and Hartman Avenue.
